Hah. This spell is very class defining. It's hard for me to feel motivated to play my chanter when I feel the class is broken. And it's very frustrating that I ran and waited on boats to get to FV, it wasn't there so I went to OT. It's not there either, it took like 3 hours to do all that.

Well, I wouldn't go THAT far. Yes, it's a most welcome addition to the spell lineup. Charm is broken (apparently until lvl 39) and I think that's far more class defining than breeze. I agree that it sucks and should be out there and I am not telling you how to feel or what to think. Just remember that Enchanters are the masters of control. Clarity / Breeze is the icing.. I made the long haul to 29 on both live and here without breeze and it's so worth the climb. No for the clarity but for the great experiencing helping groups to pull off the impossible.

I do agree though that if, after reflection you still don't want to play your enchanter, then you should consider playing one of your other characters until this is resolved.

in kunark u dont even get the spell til 16. they were changing the regen amount for level 14...sometimes u have to read a little carefully.

and whatever the regen amount is. it's worth it.

making excuses by saying its not that good is so not the way to go here. nor is saying, oh just hurry up and get to 29 for clarity.

the fact is that some lowbie enchanters have the spell, and it's flat out UNFAIR that the rest of us can't get it. I don't know how hard the fix is, but apparently not that hard, cause the port spells took all of 3 min of server downtime to put on the vendors on the fly on kunarks opening night.

It was 2 mana per tic, that's a fact.

See, I understand that you are trying to calm people down and I respect this. I also am fully aware that the regen bonus is a minor one and not really game breaking or changing. And I also agree with whoever suggested that in the time this thread has taken people could have leveled to 29 already and have Clarity.

On the other hand, one major thing that made me roll an Enchater besides CCing and Jewelcraft was the ability to increase mana regen. I'm a crack addict, always been. I'm already missing KEI MGBs since I started playing on P99.

Also, these days my playtime is rather limited, I'm a casual player nowadays with a spike here and there with me playing more than a few hours a day. Sometimes I dont have time to log in for a week or more. Thus grinding those 13 levels from 16 to 29 to get Clarity would take me quite some time, even with exclusive playtime on the chanter. I've been looking to get Breeze since Kunark release was drawing near. That's the only reason I've started playing this char again.

Eventually, dont get me wrong, I'm not heartbroken about not getting Breeze. I rolled a mage instead and enjoying it very much. Yet, I would greatly appreciate any kind of notice whats going on with the spell. Is it a simple fix that going online soon(tm)? Is it something deep within the coe / tables not worth the attention right now? Is it intended or a bug? Anything official would be better than what we have now. The very fact that this thread has 40+ replies and almost 2k views shows clearly that it of a great interest to people. More than a simple 2 mana per tic.

well all the "calming" that's being attempted is not working.

2 mana per tick at low level is just as much as clarity at high level.

anyone suggesting u should just level fast and get clarity can take a hike


the fact is this: a few lucky enchanters got breeze. the other ones are left out. i get a ton of tells for breeze a day and people act like i'm a retard and don't know how to find a spell vendor cause i can't cast it.

the very least that should happen is for a dev to take 30 seconds to respond to the thread telling us when to expect it to be fixed and we can't even get that.

That depends. I was already banned once for 2 crappy posts about it in this very thread, and in this one, and you can see just how friggin' innocuous it was. 'Calming' and 'quieting' can look very much the same, clearly.

In my case, the "calming" is working as I just stfu about it. It doesn't matter what you or I want, we don't run the server. They don't really care or see any difference between people who support the server by donations or those who just leech like 1/2 the schleps around here. They're not all in this for us or our happiness. The sooner we figure that out, the sooner we stop getting annoyed about how things are done around here. We play on their server, we play by their rules. If we don't like it.. there's the door. We can all recognize or piss off as far as some are concerned.

If we're not posting a full-blown documented bug, and we're not making a dig at a dev, they pretty much couldn't care less. Took me almost a year to figure that out, but I finally got a lame-ass ban and it became pretty clear.

And no this isn't a dig at anyone. This is simply how it is, or at least how it's been shown to be to me.

Sure, it would be "nice" if a dev would come on and give you an update. You aren't entitled to anything and bugging them every 12 hours surely isn't accomplishing anything. Feign Death for a monk = class defining. Fear for a Necromancer = class defining. Freaking 2 mana regen for an enchanter, omfg chill out. If it's the loss of, "Casting Breeze at T1 for donations" that you're losing out on, /tell vonkaar in game and I'll hook you up with some plat, and I'm certainly not rich. I just quickly tire of petty posts like this.

For all you know, there are 5+ devs sitting around thinking about quitting P1999 because of whining ingrates like yourself and it's these threads that might push one of them over the edge. Remember that this is a free game that is only possible because of the efforts of hard working developers & sys admins. Say thank you. Report bugs. Think to yourself, "it'd be nice if we had an update," but for the sake of those that want this good thing to last - stop bugging the devs.

It is not like it takes a lot of code. I am not sure of syntax, but it would be no more than something like

set quantity of breeze spells on appropriate vendor to 10000

DEV's know breeze is missing, it's probably already fixed, but they can't patch the server everytime they fix a bug.
